Premier League: Pep Guardiola's Manchester City must overcome weight of expectations to continue domestic dominance

Firstpost  

Pep Guardiola knows his City squad can achieve another gear in their pursuit for glory and the Spaniard will hope his team picks up right from where they left off last season “Some of you play better when you are angry with me, so if you hate me, hate me, guys,” the otherwise eloquent Pep Guardiola’s frank, no-nonsense words stand out in Manchester City’s Amazon documentary about their extraordinary season when they broke records after records in the English Premier League. Manchester City already set the bar pretty high last season and the onus falls upon the Citizens to overcome the exceeding weight of expectations from their fans and neutrals, especially in Europe. Ever since Guardiola’s UEFA Champions League triumph with Barcelona, the Spaniard has failed to dominate in Europe — this season provides the former Bayern Munich manager the perfect platform to cement Manchester City’s status as an elite club, especially with the shifting dynamics of the European footballing landscape. A hundred Premier League points, securing the league title with five games remaining, City were a class apart from the other titular contenders but they had their own share of misfortunes – from failing to find an answer to Liverpool’s fervent pressing to being a tad underwhelming in the cup competitions, Guardiola knows his City squad can achieve another gear in their pursuit for glory and the Spaniard will hope his team picks up right from where they left off last season.
